Phal. Bashi Blackspot alba

Bashi Blackspot alba bloomed and it looks wonderful:



The flower is very thick and waxy.



This phal lives in the orchid tank number two with cattleyas and vandas in the corner a bit farther from the lamps but still gets quite bright light.



Bud took two days to open and I took some pictures. It was totally green at the beginning:



But I could see some burgundy spots (and thought that it maybe is not an alba at all):



When it opened - color changed a bit becoming more white with green edges:



There is a raspberry patch around the middle that you can only see from the side:



Does it make it non-alba?
